Pre-requisites before taking this module (or general academic requirements): |
CHEM241 Completion of BSc in Chemistry (or equivalent) with some polymer content |
Aims |
|
The aims of the module are to: • To demonstrate the relationship between structure and properties of organic materials • To provide students with an understanding of some of the advanced characterisation techniques used for organic materials. • To outline how computation can be used to guide synthesis of functional organic materials.• To examine some examples of cutting-edge research organic materials research underway at the Department of Chemistry |
Learning Outcomes |
|
Students will obtain an understanding of how functional organic materials are synthesised and structure/property relationships. |
|
Students will understand how to select appropriate characterisation techniques for organic materials. |
|
Students will be able to explain how computation can be used to accelerate the development of functional organic materials. |
|
Students will be able outline how to design materials for specific applications. |
